Nikon D100 from a Canon EOS D30 user's perspective

by daviddennis Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 09 '02
Pros: Instantaneous response
Cons: Few image stabilizing lenses available
My much-loved Canon EOS D30 got stolen, so it was once again time to research digital SLRs. Fortunately, this was just on time for the introduction of the Nikon D100, so I wandered down to Samy's Camera in Hollywood to test out both units. This is a...

Why bother with film now?

by tdi1 , Apr 24 '03

Cons: user interface can be hard to learn. Heavy. USB interface. SLOW compressed NEF

The D100 compaired to a F100 or F5

by pmcquown , Dec 22 '02
Pros: great images, decent price, will use Nikon glass
Cons: N80 body, USB,
There are some good reviews of the D100 on epinions. Howard Creech’s is very comprehensive, for example. Rather than rehashing a perfectly fine review, I’ll try to approach this review from the perspective of a F100 or F5 owner. Which is, in my...

Affordable, Capable, Price Reduced

by ehwang , Jul 23 '02
Pros: Uses SLR lenses, fantastic resolution, familiar controls, no shutter delay!
Cons: Expensive, large, only 6 shot buffer, no IEEE-1394, changes lens focal length to 1.5X
It's strange having the distinction of being the first to review this particular camera on this site. I usually don't consider myself to be a leading-edge sort of guy, but I really got tired of dealing with my film cameras and slow point-and-shoot...

Good camera, BAD software

by swkreiter , Nov 14 '02
Pros: Good pictures, rugged construction, Nikon lenses.
Cons: Jpeg quality, must use Capture3 software to work with RAW files, C3 is unacceptable.
I took a number of pictures using all formats and decided with this camera RAW is the only way to go because of the widely reviewed "softness" of its jpeg output. However, you have to install Capture 3 software to work with the RAW files - which are in a...

Great digital SLR

by mk11 , Dec 22 '02
Pros: Negligible lag time when powering up the camera, long battery life.
Cons: Not for casual users, Pictures need post-processing, price, Nikon Capture 3 costs extra.

Solid digital transition camera from 35mm film

by bc50099 , Oct 27 '04
Pros: Quality shots; robust body; after initiation intuitive menus
Cons: Long cycle times (RAW format), not prepared for pics in ISO mode, owner manual weak
I've had my D100 for about a year, transitioning from film (slowly) - my past cameras have included everything from an original Kodak 35 mm (circa 1960) to a Nikon F2AS. My primary shots involve outdoor and low light indoor environments, as well as ...

First, let me say that I am quite renowned for being a fanatical researcher. Before I buy something, I usually do weeks of research....talking to people, reading forums, examining test reviews. So when I decided to buy a digital camera, things were no ...

fantastic camera

by fastone , Feb 01 '04
Pros: Easy to use all of the controls are familiar to all Nikon users
Cons: images are a little underexposed but very saturated. Use the software to adjust to perfect.
I recently have stepped up to the digital camera challenge. I have long been an avid film camera user. I had the chance to use a Nikon D100. To say the least I was very impressed. It was so easy to use after shooting with my F5 that it was almost funny. ...

Great body for the jump to digital

by nomadphoto , Mar 08 '04
Pros: Excellent quality, good easy control, ap/shutter dials, ::Custom Tone Curves::, good response
Cons: Nikon capture (only CTCs), card door, Compressed RAW worthless, need self-cleaning sensor, pc-sync?, firewire?
Having used slrs and digital compacts before, I was looking for a good kit to get into. All I had on the slr front was a couple of old ae-1s that I was looking to upgrade. I figured on getting a new film slr and digital slr with some great lenses. I ...

good camera, few flaws

by urounel , Jan 13 '03
Pros: great feel, quick response, DON'T need nikon capture to open RAW files
Cons: sharpness, write time
for specs, and a thorough review of the camera, go to-
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond100

My main gripe (as with most other owners) is that the photos just aren't sharp in jpeg mode. The solution is to shoot in RAW mode, but you...

Adequate camera.

by victorgz , Jan 21 '03
Pros: Image quality. Ability to use Nikon lenses. Options.
Cons: The camera quits after too few photos; must then wait.
I have used this camera extensively over a great variety of situations. Overall it is a good camera. What really bothers me is that after a few photos, the camera requires an inordinate amount of time to store the taken photos and then allow you to...
